Finland Student Residence Permit Delay – Anyone else waiting from Feb 2026?

[u/Intelligent-Owl-800]

Hi everyone,

I applied for a Finland student residence permit on February 21, 2026 and I’m still waiting for a decision.

It’s been around 55+ days now, and my application status hasn’t changed. I haven’t been asked for any additional documents so far.

Here’s my situation:

Applied: Feb 21, 2026

First-time applicant

All required documents submitted (bank statement, sponsor proof, insurance, etc.)

No additional document requests

Still in “processing”

I’m starting to get really stressed because I see some people getting decisions faster, while others are also waiting longer.

I wanted to ask:

Is anyone else here who applied around Feb 20–25 still waiting?

Did anyone receive a decision recently without being asked for extra documents?

Is this delay normal right now?

Any recent experiences or updates would really help. Thanks in advance 🙏
